How are you going to roller skate on the top of the cages? You need a card table or something setup. ;)

What a smart girl!
if the stores are open tomorrow, we'll run out to target or Walmart and grab a card table!

@Macawnutz Could she put a mat down on the floor, like a yoga mat?

Chickie did a great job fetching.

I like the folding table if you do. It's longer. You can just throw a table cloth on it. :D

I like my table because I have the edge on it. Balls and scooters don't roll of the table. :)

Absolutely you could use the floor however most birds are uncomfortable at floor level.

Can you use your outdoor table that you use for sunning?

We had a spare new one stashed behind a couch and wall. JoJo is scared of it even though I put treats on the table. In a day or two he will come around esp when I eat dinner on it, haha

Chickie did the ball trickon the table and is now fetching the ring and tossing it AT the peg for treats. That's new so I'm rewarding her for fetching it.

You noticed that! I kept waiting for the lightbulb to go off that she needed to fetch, but she forgot all about the ball!

They don't like the floor, except for Rudy! I should try training him there. On the table, I moved the ball close to him, he got mad and beat it up! Plus he wouldn't go for the click, treat, click, treat preliminary training! Just walked away! He is so smart, I'd love to figure out a way to connect training wise!

I worked with some of my red-bellies to identify and name colors. They were young and had fun with that although one of them would walk away and just eat the pieces of treats that the other two had dropped. Very smart...why work for it when you can collect the leftovers. Now when I work with my red-bellies and try to reward they generally just take the treats and throw them at me and sometimes laugh. They are very silly but we play a game where I give them a ball and they throw it to me and I catch it so they are possibly generalizing that behavior. I also think that most of the time my red-bellies seem to prefer praise or being petted even though they like the treats.

Uh oh! Problem. JoJo is taking the ring from the table and flying it to the play top so I have to run take the peg there. It's because he prefers the playtop at the moment.
